http://xel.stfx.ca/academic/celtic-studies/

Extractions: Celtic Studies Webmail Celtic Studies is a broad field that includes the languages, literatures and histories of the Celtic peoples. Thus it ranges in scope from the Continental Celts of ancient Gaul to the modern Celtic languages of Scottish, Irish and Manx Gaelic and Welsh, Cornish and Breton . The study of one or more of these languages is an important step towards understanding where many of our most important cultural, linguistic, and social institutions originate. The discipline of Celtic Studies contributes to a broader pursuit of Western civilization: archaeology, art, monasticism, languages, and literature. StFX is one of the few universities in Canada offering the study of Celtic languages and the literature and history of the Celts from about 800 BC to the present. We possess one of the finest collections of Scottish Gaelic works and recorded Scottish Gaelic Folklore in Canada, supplemented by substantial holdings in the other areas of Celtic studies. Major initiatives in the department include the Gaelic Language and Folklore Project and the Chair of Gaelic Studies.

Extractions: The History of Spiritualism Vol I Page 88 * SPIRITUAL MAGAZINE, 1868, p. 321. I desire to convey to those of my friends in America who introduced them to me, the assurance of my conviction that the Brothers' mission to Europe has been of great service to Spiritualism; that their public conduct as mediums-in which relation I alone know them-has been steady and unexceptionable. He adds that he knows no form of mediumship better adapted for a large audience than theirs. After this visit to London the Davenports returned home to America. The brothers visited Australia in 1876, and on August 24 gave their first public seance in Melbourne. William died in Sydney in July, 1877. Throughout their career the Davenport Brothers excited the deep envy and malice of the conjuring fraternity. Maskelyne, with amazing effrontery, pretended to have exposed them in England. His claims in this direction have been well answered by Dr. George Sexton, a former editor of the SPIRITUAL MAGAZINE, who described in public, in the presence of Mr. Maskelyne, how his tricks were done, and comparing them with the results achieved by the Davenports, said: "The two bear about as much resemblance to each other as the productions of the poet Close to the sublime and glorious dramas of the immortal bard of Avon."* Still the conjurers made more noise in public than the Spiritualists, and with the Press to support them they made the general public believe that the Davenport Brothers had been exposed.
Medieval Scotland
A collection of articles by Sharon L. Krossa, including such topics as handfasting, kilts, William Wallace, and Robert Bruce. Also a bibliography and links for scottish medieval names, clothing, history, and literature.

Extractions: Medieval Scotland Last updated 29 Aug 2005 This is a collection of articles and resources aimed at anyone interested in Scotland between A.D. Some of the articles discuss not only what was done in Scotland in the Middle Ages but also how modern people might re-create aspects of medieval Scottish culture. While this may be of direct interest mainly to novelists and historical re-creators (such as those involved with battle re-enactment societies, renaissance fairs, or the SCA), this way of looking at things can also help clarify and illustrate actual medieval practice for anyone.

http://www.slainte.org.uk/scotauth/macphdsw.htm

Extractions: James Macpherson was born in Ruthven, Badenoch on 27th October 1736 and attended both Aberdeen and Edinburgh Universities before returning to his native district as a teacher. By 1758 he had moved to Edinburgh where he worked as a tutor and tried to make his name as a poet. Celticism was then in vogue through the "discovery" of Welsh bardic poetry. The excitement generated by a Gaelic ballad published in the Scots magazine in 1756 may have spurred Macpherson to similar activity. In 1760 he published Fragments of ancient poetry , which gave glimpses of a rugged, ancient land inhabited by venerable warriors brooding on past glories. Son of the noble Fingal, Ossian, Prince of men! What tears run down the cheeks of age? What shades thy mighty soul? Memory, son of Alpin, memory wounds the aged. Of former times are my thoughts; my thoughts are of the noble Fingal. These "translations" gave Macpherson a success his original compositions had not achieved. Having claimed that the "fragments" represented larger works still obtainable, he was encouraged to collect more. Before long Macpherson published his main works

Extractions: [Access article in PDF] Liam McIlvanney On 4 May 1787, the day before leaving Edinburgh after his eventful first winter in the Scottish capital, Robert Burns wrote to the Reverend Hugh Blair, retired Professor of Rhetoric and Belles Lettres at Edinburgh University, thanking him for "that kindness, that patronage, that friendship" that the older man had shown him. The letter is not fulsome. It is fairly short; it has none of the vivid, Shandean banter that enlivens Burns's letters to more congenial correspondents; and it is one of a number of letters Burns sent off that Friday as he put his affairs in order. It is the perfunctory performance of a man discharging an obligation. And yet, this was an obligation that Burns felt keenly enough to act upon. Of all the people he encountered during his five-month stay in the capital, Blair was one of a handful whose assistance warranted formal acknowledgement.
